Light, fluffy, sweet, tangy all in one bite! Cranberry Orange Muffins with Orange Glaze are easy to make and quick to bake. 

Cranberry Orange Muffins with Orange Glaze

By now you know I love cranberries; they’re my favorite ingredient for the holiday season. I start buying cranberries as soon as they are in the grocery store, which for us is early November. They are relatively inexpensive at about $1.49 a bag. I usually start with 3 bags, but it’s not soon after that I’m back at the store buying more.

Before we get to these mouth-watering muffins, I have a few facts about cranberries:

  1. Cranberries are about 90% water.
  2. They are one of the few fruits that are native to North America.
  3. One cup of fresh cranberries is about 50 calories.
  4. Legenda has it that cranberries were part of the first Thanksgiving dinner.
  5. Peak season for cranberries is October – December.
  6. Cranberries are rich in antioxidants.
  7. The State that grows the most cranberries – Wisconsin – It’s true!

And now on to these sweet and tart Cranberry Muffins with Orange Glaze!

Warning – these Cranberry Muffins with Orange Glaze will make you amazing happy with every bite. And the recipe is very easy – I say that because I’m not one to make involved baked goods, although I am a fan of baking shows on TV. I also like to bake these because I had all of the ingredients right in my pantry – so it’s a real g0-t0-anytime kind of muffin. So if I can make these, so can you!
